I like having a Wembley as a national stadium, but I do think that they should travel a bit for qualifiers at least after 2017 when the club wembley games for this period ends

If you are going to create a home for football, the ground should give football priority and always be ready for football. If you have to share priority to keep things afloat, should an FA really be in that business? It is looking less and less about the football and more about the pounds.
thanks Australia

I don't think Australia made any money on it when all was said and done.

Now that I know that Deividas Matulevicius is playing I have to bet against England.

I've never heard of that man before but with a name like that hes got to be good for a few goals.

The match between Montenegro and Russia has been suspended because Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev was injured by a flare thrown by the home fans. Stupid idiots.

Okay Deividas, I am downgrading my expectations of you to: shot on target.

Lets do this.

future Ballon D'or winner Harry Kane scored within 2 minutes of coming on for England

He is a messiah and he is going to lead us to the promised land

4-0 Austria, 4-0 England. Now I need a Flames win and it's pretty much perfect.

EDIT: make that 5-0 Austria

hey, don't make fun about them. We once screwed up against the Faroe Islands, so you never know! But really, it's all about the 3 points. We have 13 now with home games vs Liechtenstein and Moldova still to be played ... it's looking really, really good.

I must apologize, my brain is fried due to tax season, I honestly thought these were Friendlies.

Seriously? England has to play against Lithuania in a competitive match? Unreal.

Remember Freddy Adu? The kid is still going places. Not necessarily good places, but places.

ESPN FC ‏@ESPNFC
Big news out of Finland: Kuopion Palloseura have signed Freddy Adu to a one-year deal.
